Hair Loss and Nutrition
Filed Under (Hair Loss, Hair Loss Vitamins) by Trent on 15-05-2008
All of us would like to have pretty thick curls looking awesome. Going bald or even thinning of these could really mess up the whole personality.
Before you panic at seeing those strands in the drain, remember that it is rather normal to lose hair daily. You lose around 65 – 100 strands every day. And the same amount of hair is replaced at once. So don’t lose heart unless you feel that it is an unusually heavy loss and you can see your scalp.
The reasons for hairloss may be varied. Men have a tendency to go bald. Fungal infections may cause patches to appear on the scalp. Aging, anemia and side effects of medication taken for diseases like cancer are some other factors. Emotional stress and physical stress on the scalp like tightly bound hair also play a role. The most commonly found reason for thinning is the absence of a balanced diet.
Hair is a part of the body and is very much affected by the food you eat and it shows. The absence of vitamins, proteins and minerals like iron and zinc leads to thin stringy curls with split ends and shedding. These essential nutrients play a great role in giving you a glossy mane. They promote blood circulation in the scalp, the production of keratin and melanin and healthy follicles.
It goes without saying that a well balanced diet is necessary for a healthy body. Bad pelt may mean that your eating habits need to be looked into. It may be lacking in some of the nutrients. Poor lusterless hair and excess shedding is a price that many a dieter pays for trying to get slim on starvation and fad diets.
Consult a doctor to determine the actual cause of your hairloss and the methods to prevent it. Problems due to lack of nutrients can fortunately be corrected with better eating habits. You can also add supplements to your diet. External application of oils, shampoos, conditioners etc containing added nutrients also help. The best way is to eat more green leafy vegetables, whole grains, nuts, milk and fruits. Eggs and fish liver oil is good sources of nutrition too. In short, whatever is good for your health is good for your hair too.
Other commonsense tactics are to drink lots of water, eat fiber rich food, take adequate exercise and sleep well.
